FL in English

Fuente Latina (FL) removes geographic and linguistic barriers for global Spanish language media covering stories about Israel and the Mideast. With offices in Jerusalem, Madrid, and Miami, FL is the only organization of its kind engaging international Latino media in their language and in real time.

FL is a registered U.S. non-profit organization that is not affiliated with any government. Our objective is to educate Latino audiences about Israel and the Middle East by providinge factual information and analysis for the Spanish language media. We specialize in providing tailored media services from Israel to global Latino media. Fuente Latina maintains a global network of hundreds of Spanish-speaking Mideast subject analysts who are available on-demand and free of charge.

In its first year, Fuente Latina has facilitated some 250 interviews for the Spanish-speaking press worldwide.– The Algemeiner

FL was established in December 2012 out of a growing demand for greater access to information about Israel and the Middle East in Spanish amid developing regional events such as Operation Pillar of Defense, the Arab Spring and Iran’s nuclear program.

“When you have a journalist that is taking one stance versus another stance, it’s about making that personal connection,” Soibel added. “That’s why the language is so important.”– Jewish Journal

In just three years FL has facilitated and produced more than 1,200 news stories and interviews.
